How to use ServiceStack.OrmLite with a Xamarin Android project

Is it possible to use ServiceStack OrmLite on a Xamarin android project? I'm having a hard time finding the right combination of dlls. I've tried building from ServiceStack.OrmLite.Android.sln and using the resulting dlls, but when I add ServiceStack.OrmLite.Sqlite.Android.dll to the solution I get the following error when I build:

Error   2   Exception while loading assemblies: System.IO.FileNotFoundException: Could not load assembly 'System.Data.Linq, Version=4.0.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=b77a5c561934e089'. Perhaps it doesn't exist in the Mono for Android profile?
File name: 'System.Data.Linq.dll'
   at Xamarin.Android.Tuner.DirectoryAssemblyResolver.Resolve(AssemblyNameReference reference, ReaderParameters parameters)
   at Xamarin.Android.Tasks.ResolveAssemblies.AddAssemblyReferences(List`1 assemblies, AssemblyDefinition assembly, Boolean topLevel)
   at Xamarin.Android.Tasks.ResolveAssemblies.AddAssemblyReferences(List`1 assemblies, AssemblyDefinition assembly, Boolean topLevel)
   at Xamarin.Android.Tasks.ResolveAssemblies.Execute() C:\Program Files (x86)\MSBuild\Xamarin\Android\Xamarin.Android.Common.targets   853 2   AndroidApplication1

I have seen some post around indicating they were able to use Ormlite with a Xamarin android project, but they don't have any details on the implementation and they are old enough that they probably used v3 of ServiceStack.

I'm using the starter edition of ServiceStack, although i don't think that would have any impact.

Thanks, Estyn

Either build the V3 branch source code or get the DLL's from here:

You can also fork this branch of ServiceStack.OrmLite if nothing else works, it's where I first published OrmLite Android & iOS support: https://github.com/sami1971/ServiceStack.OrmLite-1
